Meta — the channel for the audiences your clients live in

Instagram and Facebook remain the world’s largest social advertising system. And a working channel for a business with an audience in Europe, the US, Asia or the CIS. Our typical client here is a brand or service that outgrew its home market. The product is ready, the buying experience covers other platforms. And Meta’s mechanics are a different planet: another auction, other formats, other tracking rules. We run it as its own discipline.

Lookalikes on money, not on likes

Meta’s main lever is the lookalike, and the main mistake is building it from the wrong source. Similar-to-followers means similar to giveaway hunters. Similar-to-CRM-buyers means similar to the paying. We build audiences from the money. A buyer base upload, purchase events via the Conversions API, LTV segments. The platform scales the ones who bring revenue. In the review above, exactly that rebuild dropped the order cost by 40%.

Reels-first: the creative as a pipeline

Meta’s feed went video-first. Vertical clips get organically cheap impressions, statics pay extra for feeling foreign. Our process is a pipeline of short hooks. A batch of hypotheses weekly: a talking head, a product demo, UGC style, before-and-after. Burned ones retire before dragging the lead price up. The library of working hooks accumulates and stays with you. In a couple of months you know your niche’s creative code.

Tracking: the Conversions API as hygiene

After the iOS updates the pixel sees shadows. Without server events Meta optimizes on guesses, and ROAS doesn’t reconcile with the till. The Conversions API restores the vision. Events leave your server directly, purchases and leads get attributed honestly. We install CAPI in the first month as the hygienic minimum. Together with funnel tagging down to the CRM deal, so the report is in money, not in the account’s “results”.

Geos, boundaries and combinations

We split campaigns by market. Europe, the US and the CIS differ in auctions, prices and creative codes. Each geo gets its own report, and the budget flows by the numbers. Straight about the frame: billing and the account’s legal setup are the client’s zone, we’ll suggest options. The channel compounds through combinations. Google Ads collects the same markets’ search intent. We build the landing pages and multilingual sites ourselves. The funnel from a Reel to a deal assembles in one place.

Client reviews

Client reviews

We sell to Europe, and after the iOS updates the ads flew blind. ROAS was impossible to compute. The team raised the Conversions API and rebuilt the events. Campaigns see purchases again, and I again see what pays off.
Polina Z.Jewelry brand founder
The previous vendor poured budget into lookalikes built on Instagram followers. A pretty audience, zero orders. Rebuilt from the buyer base, and the same platform started working. Order cost fell 40% in a month.
Andrey T.UAE delivery service CEO
The Reels pipeline is what pulled our campaigns out. Static banners died in days, while weekly batches of short videos with different hooks hold the lead price for months. Plus an honest breakdown of which hooks work. The library stays with us.

FAQ

FAQ about paid advertising

01How much does Instagram and Facebook advertising cost?

Management from $800 a month. The account, pixel and Conversions API setup is included in the first month. The budget is paid to Meta directly from your account. A forecast for your geos is free after the audit.

02Which geos do you work with?

Wherever your clients live: Europe, the US, Asia, the CIS, the Gulf. Campaigns split by market, each geo gets its own auction, creatives and target lead cost. Account billing and the legal setup stay on the client's side. We'll suggest working options, you choose the scheme.

03What about tracking after the iOS updates?

The pixel alone went blind. The cure is the Conversions API: events go from the server straight to Meta, and campaigns again optimize on real leads and purchases. We install CAPI in the first month. Without it, Meta budgets today run at half power.

04Why such an emphasis on Reels?

Meta's feed went video-first. Vertical clips get cheap reach and look native, static banners cost more and feel foreign. Our pipeline ships batches of short hooks weekly. Tests outpace the burnout, and the library of working hooks accumulates for you.

05Should we enable Advantage+ or run campaigns manually?

We combine. Advantage+ is strong for e-commerce with a wired CAPI and a catalog, but needs supervision: audience exclusions, caps, placement control. For lead gen and narrow niches, manual campaigns with precise segments win more often. The test decides, not the fashion.
